Modern 7.62x51mm ball would drill through all steel armor like it was tissue paper. 5.56x43 penetrates steel even better. AR500 steel 3/8 in thick is needed to reliably stop 5.56 without cratering or possibility of penetrating, 1/4" it punches through unless on angle. A man-at-arms in full plate might as well be butt naked.
5.56x45...I absolutely hate this new web format. It won't even let me edit.
